Our Teachers

Our educational philosophy and approach is supported and promoted by Jessica Reilly (4 year old teacher) and Narelle Allen (3 year old teacher).

Enthusiastic and qualified kindergarten teachers who plan and implement quality experiences for both kindergarten groups, they are assisted by caring assistants who are an integral part of our early learning centre.

Our Program

Our program creates a positive and supportive learning environment focusing on the development of the whole child. Activities are planned to promote learning in all developmental domains – social, emotional cognitive, language and physical.

It's play-based and interest-based

As play is considered to be one of the most important ways a child can learn about their world. Ideas for activities and events are sourced from the children’s interest.This approach is due to the belief that children learn more if they are interested in what they are learning and have input into the direction of their learning. The program activities (eg. excursions and focuses) change from year to year, depending on the interests and needs of the group.

Parent/Carer involvement

Your involvement is encouraged through:
